Tanker attacks: common questions
When was the last oil tanker attacked?
The most recent strike-type report on our wire is dated Jul 1 (1 day ago): "South Korean cargo ship damaged in Strait of Hormuz attack set to depart Gulf after repairs". The last confirmed commercial-vessel strikes of the June escalation were the Ever Lovely (June 25) and the tanker Kiku (June 27).
How many ships have been attacked in the Hormuz crisis?
The tracked open-source floor is 43 vessels, of which 11 were tankers (open-source floor through 2026-05-14). The true number is likely higher; some incidents go unreported or unattributed.
What counts as an entry in this log?
Dated wire reports mentioning strikes, seizures, boardings, drone or missile hits, and groundings involving commercial shipping — each linked to its original outlet. Entries are reports as published, not adjudicated incidents: follow-up coverage of an earlier attack appears under the date it was reported.
Where does the data come from?
Crude Signal's continuously archived news wire (Bloomberg, Reuters, gCaptain, TradeWinds and others via aggregators), filtered for shipping-attack reports and de-duplicated. The log begins April 1, 2026; for the crisis's opening weeks see our weekly briefings.
